Subject: [AI] Accessible coins!

As per directions from the Delhi HC the GOI and RBI are in the process of
developing a new set of coins with particular emphasis of the coins being
accessible. These new coins are likely to be launched towards the end of
2019. I have seen the prototypes and I can say that each coin is distinct
and easy to identify. This I believe is the first step towards having
accessible coins and currency notes.

Re: [AI] Accessible Coins in India

2011-12-17 Thread Mujtaba Merchant
Hello Umesha and Asif,

The talking ATM's are a long pending and forgotten promise made by many Indian 
Banks. Banks like the state Bank Of India made some random promise of 
installing around 7000 talking ATM's for the disabled. This was a big hog wash 
talk and covered by a lot of media including Business Standard and the locally 
popular Deccan Herald News Paper. It has also come to my attention that this 
news was shared with the Access India mailing list somewhere in 2010. Extracts 
of the email and news shared are below, they talk about getting these ATM'S 
running in a months time from which date I have no clue. The goon bank of India 
ICICI who's CEO boasts that their bank has already instaled its first Talking 
ATM in 2003, may be it is in his private farm house or his local bar. Because 
thats where he employs his collection department people! Since most of these 
talks took place at Mumbai the financial capital of India, request list members 
from Mumbai to share if there has been any developments of this sort. Without 
further adue the story below:

India's largest lender, State Bank of India (SBI) plans to introduce 7,000 
voice enabled ATMs across the country for visually challenged customers 
beginning next month. 
"Out of our 18,500 ATMs, 7,000 will be made voice enabled for visually 
challenged people. We expect to launch these talking ATMs starting next month," 
SBI's General Manager (Alternate Channels) Amitabh Kumar said at a CII seminar 
in Mumbai on Thursday. 
These voice enabled ATMs, customised with headphones and braille key pads, will 
offer services like funds transfer and downloading of account statements, Kumar 
said. 
Presently, SBI is testing voice enabled ATMs with its partners NCR and Diebold 
and expects to make these operational in a month's time, he said. 
SBI plans to install these ATMs in metro, urban and semi urban towns across the 
country. 

"The country has 10.6 million visually challenged people and it is the duty of 
the banks to help these people to meet their banking needs," ICICI Bank's CEO 
and Managing Director, Chanda Kochhar, speaking at the seminar, said. 
ICICI Bank has installed its first talking ATM in 2003. Over the years, the 
bank has also ensured that the basic banking facilities can be used by 
physically handicapped people, Kochhar said.
